StoragePoint 6.0 - Metalogix Archive Adapter Guide

NOTE: SharePoint 2016 and 2019 are not compatible with the Metalogix Archive Adapter at this time.

Name

Enter the unique name of the Storage or Backup Endpoint.

Type

See Backup Services Settings in the Reference Guide for more information on how Backup Endpoints are used.

Primary – this endpoint will be available for externalization when creating storage profiles.

Backup – this endpoint will be in the Backup Services dropdown on the profile page.

The selection is locked down when saving.

Status

Online – Storage Endpoint should be available to associate to a Storage Profile and accept BLOBs. (default)

Offline (Read Only) – A storage endpoint can be configured, but not made available for externalizing content. The BLOBs already on the endpoint are still read only.

Select the adapter for the endpoint that is being created.

Enter the URL of the HSM Web service that was created during the configuration of Archive Manager.

Click Get Schemas to retrieve schemas associated with the web service. Click one to select it.

Enter a retention period.

Click Show to see the Advanced Adapter Settings. Enter a buffer size, or use the default (65536).

The Test Storage Settings button can be used at this point, or after completing the endpoint configuration, to verify that the endpoint is accessible.

A warning email can be sent if it encounters errors.

An online storage endpoint can be automatically taken offline if it encounters errors. If a storage endpoint is taken offline automatically, BLOBs that were intended to be written to that endpoint will go to the content database.

Default email addresses for system error and offline notification can be entered. Check the box to include the list of Default Notification Contacts specified on the General Settings page.

NOTE: Adapter parameters are not case-sensitive.

NOTE: You should always use a passphrase when generating encryption keys. The passphrase gives you a means of re-creating keys should they become unrecoverable or corrupt. It is very important to remember or record the passphrase outside of Metalogix StoragePoint. Otherwise, encrypted content could become irretrievable in the event of a database failure.

NOTE: When testing access to an endpoint from within Central Administration, the Identity of the Application Pool hosting the Central Administration Site is the one that is being used for the test. If there are different Identities used for other Web Applications in the Farm then those identities will also need access but cannot be tested from within Central Admin itself. See BLOB Store Security and Metalogix StoragePoint Required Privileges in the Metalogix StoragePoint Reference Guide.

NOTE: The Endpoint Start folder cannot be used for profiles that use the Metalogix Archive Adapter endpoint.
